Updated April 2026

30-second summary

Puter.com is the open-source reference Web OS: desktop UI in the browser, first-party apps, shared filesystem, AGPL, with investors and fast growth. RoqueOS is a **Personal Cloud OS** with a different focus: **native Docker integration** (App Store with 155+ apps), a **proprietary AI agent** (OpenClaw), optional self-hosted server (NestJS + Docker), and **first-class LGPD / Portuguese** support for the Brazilian market. Puter is generalist and global; RoqueOS is deeper, Brazilian, and tightly integrated with self-hosting.

Which one to choose?

Choose RoqueOS if

  • You want to run Docker apps (Jellyfin, Nextcloud, Home Assistant...) directly from the OS.
  • You value an AI agent with visual automation (OpenClaw).
  • You're in Brazil and want LGPD, BRL pricing, and Portuguese support.
  • You need native wrappers for TV/mobile/desktop beyond the browser.
  • You want a self-hosted OS with an optional managed Cloud on top.

Choose Puter if

  • AGPL open-source from day one is non-negotiable.
  • Your use case is building web apps that run **inside** a browsable OS.
  • You prefer a global English ecosystem with a large community.
  • You don't need deep Docker integration.
  • US-hosted cloud with elastic storage works for you.
